The fire salamander, which currently lives in the Amazon, will learn to adapt to a drier, hotter savanna in the future. They have moist, permeable skin and spend most of their time in moist places. They feel slimy, and their diet consists of insects, worms, and slugs. In the future, they will avoid predators by changing colors to blend in. They can protect themselves by wrapping themselves in cocoons. If it gets too hot, they’ll be able to hibernate for years at a time. The salamander has glands in its skin that release poison that can kill or sicken predators. They'll grow a coat of rougher skin and become taller. When they’re born they'll become land animals right away, rather than first being a water animal, then a land animal. Their diet will continue to consist of insects and worms. The salamander will adapt and survive.
